First.

That's legitimately awesome.

I'd actually go to this event.

 

[Princess Leia]

Honestly, I cannot figure out if I'm mad about this or jealous of those who get to attend. It's a bit vague as to what will actually be happening, but it's an adult-only crowd.

If it could shoot a giant laser and destroy other pavilions, I'm all for it. I would love to see it destroy, Energy, The Seas and Imagination.

Yeah I didn't quite understand what is going on at this event either. They call it a Star Wars celebration of rogue one and have the Death Star on spaceship earth but have very little details about what actually is going to happen.

Do they have projectors at Epcot?

I signed up for before it got locked out. No idea if I'll actually get in.

It seems like an obvious and harmless marketing opportunity tied to the Star Wars movie about the building of the Death Star opening. I just want the photo op to get the image of SSE lit up as the Death Star.

Its unclear if they are permanent (not likely) but they did something like this for a media event a couple of years ago tied to Monster's University. They project Mike W onto SSE.

Joy.

 

[Prototype82]

Yeah, lets project an instrument of death on a symbol of life and human ingenuity. woohooo

 

[Texas84]

Looking forward to pictures of this.

For me, this ranks as a solid, "Meh". My enthusiasm for 'Rogue One' is waning by the day, as I realize more and more it's just a money grab by Disney. I mean, really, does anyone want to know how the Death Star plans were stolen? If you do, more power to you. Personally, I'd rather have a new, original story played out on the big screen rather than what's being foisted upon us by Iger and his henchmen. Just imagine what could have been possible if Disney hadn't declared the original EU as verboten...

 

[NearTheEars]

The clickbait Facebook posts are running rampant right now.

Oh my goodness, give me a freaking break. How some of you people sleep at night is beyond me. "Instrument of death?" Seriously? It's not a freaking swastika, it's a big ol' spaceship from one of the most beloved movies of all time.

While I think this event would be cool, I'm confused at Epcot's direction. I thought Star Wars was a DHS thing? Is everything just everywhere anymore? Will we soon be seeing Spider-Man climbing Cinderella Castle? Just weird to me.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with Epcot's direction. As someone else mentioned, they projected Mike Wazowski onto Spaceship Earth when they kicked off their #MonstrousSummer promotion. That didn't mean Monsters were taking over Epcot pavilions.

Thank the Empire...They Invented it....

Exactly...The 3 other Hubs get a projection and SE is left in the dark (Seriously no color changing rotation to it since the 80's)...Let it have it's turn for once..
